I have been learning all things IT since I was 14, got an OCA Java cert from Oracle at 16, and have been working as an ETL developer for the past year as an intern. I chose to pursue a business/economics degree since I genuinely didn't want university to kill my passion. Now I realized I don't want to stop at my current level and started learning about mainframes, z/OS and low level languages such as Assembly and COBOL. I have been looking at Computer Systems Engineering / Systems and Networking Master's degrees that I would genuinely enjoy doing. Right now I am planning to start my career as an actuary because I love math, and the math knowledge would definitely aid me in Engineering too since the basics of the math (Advanced calculus, differential equations, stochastic processes...etc) is the same for both areas, although the application is different.
I want to know if I can somehow combine these three interests. I was thinking the easiest way is to create a consulting firm that focuses on risk and systems architecture but I've never heard of something like that and I'd like a reality check. Should I just use actuarial math as a stepping stone to get ready for Engineering grad school admissions? Or can I actually integrate it somehow into my career?
